Thanks! I already understood the basics of requesting an SSL cert and
installing it, though that article was helpful in suggesting to create a
temporary web site to make the request so I didn't have to remove the
self-cert from everything while the request was being processed.

The question is more to, assuming I've already got everything set up
correctly with e-mail and SSL certificate with whatever registered domain
name we have now.

The company has changed it's name and thus it's registered domain name.

I need to change the e-mail addresses, and the SSL certificate to match
the
new registered domain name.

As I said in my first message I think I've got the e-mail thing down in
general by just running the Connect to the Internet Wizard. And I did see
that when I ran that, it created a new self-signed certificate for me
using
the new domain name.

Did it also keep the old domain name? Is the company still going to receive
mail for the old company domain name? I'm sure the company doesn't want to
lose any email from customers/clients that haven't updated their contact
list. For any company name switch, or A/M, I would suggest to keep the old
name for at least a year, if not more.


There is one catch on the e-mail. I'm trying to go into the accounts of
all
the users and remove the old e-mail addresses. It lets me remove them but
when I go back into the account, the old e-mail address is back. How do I
get it to permanently remove the old addresses?

That's because it's coming from the Recipient Policy. Go into Exchange
System Manager, Recipients, Recipient Policies, to the right, you will see
the "Default Policy." Double click on it, click on the Email Address Policy
tab. This is where you can customize what you want the email addresses to
be. Just leave the x.400 and the .local (or whatever your internal name is)
ones alone. The one in BOLD is the one that will be the "Reply-To" address
when folks send out emails. You can keep the old domain name, so it will
receive mail on it so you don't lose old customers, but make the new one the
BOLD one by highlighting it, and clicking "Make Primary" so all email sent
out will have a the new default domain as the Reply-To.


Then back on the 3rd party SSL certificate idea. Again, assuming I've
already got one installed and working properly with the old registered
domain
name, do I just need to resubmit a new request to get a new certificate
with
the new domain name and install it the same I way I did the original
certificate?

Call up the place you bought the cert from. They will be more than happy to
reissue a new cert with the new name. They will even walk you how to do it
in IIS over the phone.


And just to confirm, there are no other configuration changes I need to
make
to the SBS server anywhere, just run the Connect to the Internet Wizard
and
request and install the new SSL Cert?

Or do it manually.


Oh, one other thing. The Remote Web Workplace screen still shows the old
company name. How do I change that?

The old company name as in the internal domain name?

If that is the case, you may be looking at a domain migration. If you can
keep the old name internally, that would be easier.

Otherwise, possibly one of the other folks can guide you with the RWW.


Thank you again.

Keep in mind, you must also create an MX record for the new public domain
name at wherever the public name is being hosted. You can either keep the
old name, and point the MX record to the old name, or simply create a new
'mail' record under the domain name, then create an MX record for the new
domain name, and point it to the new mail.domain.com record you just
created.
